“I really like the scheduling and reporting in bsport. They’re really easy to use. The overall dashboard is great, and I’ve been really happy with it. Jane and I use bsport a lot on our phones, as we’re not in front of a computer very often, and it’s been really easy to manage from there..”

Review

Hear from studios using Mariana Tek

MT is super expensive, their payroll options SUCK. You can only set one pay rate for each person in your system, so if you have different class lengths, or someone works front desk and teaches, you have to pay for yet another service that is $100/month that integrates with them.

You can get to one place a few different ways so sometimes it can be confusing to remember exactly how and where to go to complete a task.
